now why exactly is it that you cant do the headlight conversion? Mounting problems? Hood modification? wirring? I dont see why you just CAN't do it. |

well wiring and mounting wouldnt really be too big of a deal to do.. the main problem is that the supra front end isnt very tall compared to the celica.. at least the one I have isnt tall enuf so It would look kinda funny and my biggest complaint with the celica is that the front end tappers too much to a point. with this front end and the GT4 I think I will finally be able to fix this little prob. Another concern is with the hood and the raised bubbles on the hood where the celica lights are.. I could cut into the hood some and try and flatten them out a little but they will still be there.. Thought about doing eyebrows on the supra headlights and have the bubble things follow onto the eyebrows then have em tapper off to flat. but I really dont wanna cut into the hood or modify the fenders any more than I already am going to have to, that and I have the invaderfront so why not use it to mate up this bumper with the car. I am also not really sure how they would look on the car.. Photoshopped them one and It looked good but not great enuf to really make me wanna risk everything on something that yea would look okay but might not look better than stock headlights -------------------- 99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |

Yea im a little torn over it.. I personally like it but at the same time I almost think that it will be too much on the front, but I also have to look at it from a performance aspect.. if you look up at the first few photos I posted you will see how my intercooler is set up and it blocks the path of the air to the radiator quite a bit.. now greated the intercooler is designed for air to flow through it but I am concerned about the radiator not getting enuf cool air and that is kind of a problem... the cool thing about the front airdam is that there are vents on the underside of it (will post a photo if I get a chance) and I might be able to open them and use that to cool the radiator but still undecided

Just make sure you take all options into concideration....If you think the opening will contribute to the cooling of IC and radiator, by all means go ahead. But if you like to use the vents on the underside, then that would be fine also. Not having the opening wont make it look less attractive. In the end, it is still gonna be a very awesome ride.
